I use postal codes also. Works well.

 

Can also consider upgrading to the Apple Carplay and Android Auto if your model permits. Paid $600 for the upgrade using the vouchers that came with the car, plays music and Google Assistant - very useful for voice command search.

Looks like mazda may need to get more consumer support for the sales

*****

TOKYO - Mazda Motor Corp <7261.T> has sought loans totalling about 300 billion yen ($2.8 billion) from Japan's three megabanks and other lenders to ride out the coronavirus epidemic, a source with direct knowledge of the matter said on Saturday.

    The megabanks - Mitsubishi UFJ Financial Group <8306.T>, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group <8316.T> and Mizuho Financial Group <8411.T> - along with the Development Bank of Japan, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Holdings <8309.T> and others are set to agree, with some already having extended the loans, the person said, declining to be identified because the information is not public.

Hi sdf,

You will see more Jap car manufacturers on the same, usa retailers, worldwide airlines, casinos etc. and perhaps lesser banks also.

Hold on tight for the aftermath of this covid19 since it seems you are expecting biz as usual ...

Cheers.

this so call "medical financial " holocaust may tip the marginalise players and those who were lacking in compliance and financial discipline.

On the medical front, its an unfortunate event that the global front is experiencing. 

At least its not like a more gruesome Ebola  but its a wake up call to relook how we look at a next outbreak.

Should we weigh the financial burden and perform a news containment to avoid wide spread panic or should we put in place like a fire alarm drill in years to come with a revamp of what is consider a pandemic or epidemic .

May not be real, but the fact that you are prepared may put everyone in a better state of mind.

Hi sdf,

SIA also marginalised, lack competency and financial disciple ? All affected bro and just hope you and me will not be in the long road ahead.

Many companies including mine have BCP plans and procedures but all struggling cos no sense to spend 90% of your means for such contingencies never seen before in recent times.

No, I do not have any answer but will also not offer any simplistic view and comments to businesses and organisation already run by brilliant individuals that put me to shame.

Cheers.

Richard

Most companies treat risk and issues as taboo subjects.

Even it security is something to be provided. But just don’t spend too much on it as it’s a burdensome cost. 

cost is an evil and profitable gains is what’s going n the KPI n measurable. 
 

so when problems arises ?

well when it happens than we discuss further as probably won’t even be on the senior watch. By then it’s someone’s else’s baby.

so we continue on the path of least destruction and continue to work on things that makes sense. 
 

as an example, base on hindsight 2020 , sure, moral compass was lacking in the subprime years.

even in today context, WHO was against taking measure on wording it as a pandemic until it really was a pandemic, that was too late.

so yes, I can agree with the statement, BCP is a real joke in all organisations. Unless there is a compliance body like MAS that review the risk of market failure and punitive damages, everything would be a tick in the box .

Hi all Mazda6 owners, hope you all doing well in this CB period 🙂

I discovered 2 issues on my car recently, would like to seek advice on anyone who experience these before...

1. My side mirror retract (close) well when I remote lock the car. However it cannot finished expand (open) when I remote unlock. If I apply a little bit of force during it expands, it can expand completely. Motor problem? Heard Mazda 6 got side mirror issue, is that something like this?

2. When I Push Start the engine, there is a 'krrrrrkk" sound from the dash board. The sounds is a little bit like motor/gear jam like that. It only happen during the FIRST engine start after unlock the car. If I off the engine and restart again, there is no such sound. (Attached a video below)

Currently Mazda close their service center, have to wait until May for the service check. So would like to first consult the owners here.

Thank you!

 

i also have the same symptom for point 2 and have been living with it for almost 2 years. have you manage to solve it? mine is a mazda 6 too.

will highlight before my warranty ends.

point 2 sound like steering unlock mechanism. 

if off engine and start again no sound, then

you should try also off engine, get out of car and lock car. 

repeat the cycle to start does it have same sound?

Hey folks,

Gotten a new Mazda 6 in Q3 2018, and the overall drive and feel have been above expectation considering the purchased price.  

Checking on battery: 

I read from the past posts that the stock batt usually last about 18 months.

If for e.g. the i-Stop amber light (not green) appeared on Sat (16 May), and it had not appeared in the past few days when the car was driven,  do I need to be concerned with the batt?  

 

Thanks.

Yes it's a sign, and you should drive your car while you still can to a workshop and change asap.

Hey, 

I had a similar issue with the mirrors too. Mazda 6.  Sometimes, it cannot unfold to its fullest. Only one side was affected. 

Changed FOC as it was covered under the 3 years warranty.

Hope this helps.

I don't think it is. Probably just an issue with the quality of the batteries they're using (in my opinion).

I don't know about other Mazda 6 owners here, but compared with my previous rides, the battery life of my present Mazda 6 is awfully short (1 yr 5 months). My i-Stop is turned off 99% of the time (it's reflex to turn it off after starting the engine these days), but if my understanding is correct, i-Stop actually doesn't consume that much battery power (warm starts vs cold starts).

So it's back to the question asked by other owners:
What else is sucking up the battery? Or is it an issue with battery quality? 

I think you may be right.

For cars equipped with auto start stop functions, they have to use a different type of more expensive battery using different technology known as as EFB/AGM. AGM is the more expensive one and better than EFB to withstand the demands of auto start stop functions.

My dad's 2yr 3 months old Mazda 3' battery has never been changed since brand new and is still going strong because he hates the i-stop function and always turns it off.

My F20 with auto-start stop (which I also always turn off) has only undergone 1 battery change since brand new and it was 3.5 year old mark.

So I believe, disabling the auto start stop does make a difference from both logical point of view and also actual experience.
